  Hello,
  I deleted my blog (email visible only to moderators and staff) but I want to make a new blog with the same adress, but when i try to do that it says that the adress already exists. How long do I have to wait before I can use that adress again?

  Regards Anna Svärd, (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You cannot register a deleted blog URL. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click. When clicked the URL is gone forever. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  You can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
